please help me !!!

My son is 17 months old, and he just started to pull his diapers off. Today when we first woke up I brought him downstairs to find that he had pulled his diaper off and was sitting on it. When I went to go get him a new diaper in the kitchen, I was approached by my son saying " **** ****" to me and pointing to the floor. He had pooped on my kitchen floor!!! Is my son ready for the potty and is trying to tell me????? And if not how can I prevent him from pulling his diaper off????

He's ready to potty train:) congrats. Now at the times you ned him to keep it on like bedtime or when you won't have a bathroom readily available. I put my kids on backward. they cannot reach the velcr that way.

Sounds like he is ready! Get him a little potty chair and show him to poo poo in it. There are a lot of vidios and books out there to help. I found putting clothes on kept the diaper on too. Good luck!
